Building Fashion Brand, E Commerce & Indian Customers | Ft The Souled Store | FO 140 Raj Shamani

[@anubhavsolankey]

For the last 3 years, my entire wardrobe has been Souled Store! They have some really cool prints, keep updating their inventory, and the materials are also good!

[@AAKASHTHAKKAR5]

Very smart entrepreneur, very smart in everything he spoke. Honest, Respectful, and very smart about what he spoke of other clothing brands, and his own.

[@Sourabh-1996]

First podcast in which I loved the founder answers. Relatable and absolute genuine guy.

[@mayanknigam7422]

I worked at Planet Superheroes and saw the Souled store's growth. Cut to today no one knows Planet Superheroes and Souled Store is known by tier 3 cities people. Kudos to the Souled Army....

00:03 Starting a t-shirt company based on pop culture 03:26 Started a t-shirt company with minimal investment 08:01 Different types of clothing brands - status driven, design driven, and use case driven. 10:05 Different brands cater to different consumer needs based on status, coolness, and convenience. 13:54 Building a fashion brand requires focusing on the product and its quality. 16:08 Building a successful fashion brand involves focusing on customer preferences and maintaining quality. 20:08 Having a good price, quality, and design is a no-brainer for customers to pick up products. 21:57 Fashion brands can be built in India 25:45 Building customer trust in a competitive business. 27:26 Consistency in branding and product quality is key to winning in the t-shirt industry. 31:32 Building a successful fashion brand in a short span of time requires a winning formula and great product-market fit. 33:28 Focus on fixing reasons why customers don't repeat purchases 37:06 Building a fashion brand on trend is not sustainable. 39:00 The speaker talks about a small brand called Census that he recently discovered and loves the quality of their clothes. 42:43 The importance of having the right people in a company's journey. 44:49 Building a fashion brand requires thinking about the bigger vision while also considering smaller details. 48:45 Stop seeking advice and focus on problem statements 50:39 Learning from others' approach to problem-solving

[@anuragdubey163]

honestly the fashion keeps changing..just like how few years ago lot of teenagers/youngsters were wearing printed t-shirt from bewakoof or souled store or from somewhere else but now in 2023 I don't see many wearing those types of t-shirts or hoodies now the trend is too wear baggy or oversized clothes. Also what I think is in past few years fashion has changed a lot I can say it has become more calm or simple now people don't wanna wear flashy clothes now they want more simple looking clothes and that's what luxury brands are also doing. So I'm thinking to build a brand around the same fashion sense & ideology, basically clothes that will look good on any age group can wear. Lets see what future brings in for us.

[@dwanelkemprai4983]

You are on point bro, Indian brands are like those street food stalls that is on fire for few months and remain irrelevant after that. Both founders and consumers have the wrong ideology of "brand"

[@Nuacc]

Loved how calm & patience he is ( Founder)

[@jonessaji2468]

Vedang is one of the smartest guest who can literally answer to Raj's questions wickedly

[@mindstarbysandhyasurve5515]

Nice to see how proud an Indian he is!

[@mayank1763]

I always hit like at your podcasts because I really think we as a country need more such content rather than a podcast where the host keeps on trying to show off his own knowledge. Keep up the good work! Your loyal subscriber.

[@RevolutionaryCult]

Bhai what is mott?

[@fridge_magnet]

Love "The Souled Store". They have very good quality clothes for reasonable prices. Love their supima cotton plain t shirts.

[@prakharraval]

The quality he is talking about makes so much sense like i will forever be a souled store customer never ever received a compromised quality product. The feels the thickness very premium

[@fridge_magnet]

True. Big fan of their supima t shirts. Hope they don't hike prices further

[@StoryTeller-th1rk]

The souled store brand is one of the best brands to come out of India and their quality is only getting better day by day.

[@MEB_KunalArya]

[@rikhikhorana8617]

Get b2b experts and people who help small msme business as well on traditional businesses while start up advice is great but you need topush the old ones to get better at their business .You are doing a great job Raj .

[@sir_prize_ma_the_farcar4547]

Souled store isnt going anywhere anytime soon, their products are good quality for the price.

[@Letsunlearnandlearn]

Your podcasts are very insightful. The questions you ask the guest are really meaningful and we as budding entrepreneurs find them really helpful.

[@rchisnag6300]

Raj ...what makes your podcast different from other is your simplicity of discussion...which is understood by maximum section of people....never complicated it......thanks for inspiring ❤

[@kartikgajera8606]

Raj, how about bringing Sachin Bansal to your podcast? I'm sure majority of the viewers would love to know and learn from his thought process.

[@yadhneshpathare1826]

Let's Go Vedang! Very Inspiring!

[@kabir_asani]

i haven’t been liking a lot of podcasts by raj recently, especially the political ones, but this one was a banger. large kudos to vedang for being so insightful. but kudos to raj too for finally “figuring himself out”.

[@DineshKumarK-m2f]

Vedang is simply customer centric & simple philosophy of patience , perseverance,but all cannot be so lucky apart from hardwork, But also bootstrapped I suppose ,

[@swastikgupta8966]

This podcast further validates my love for Souled store.

[@anav1347]

There is word to summarise your work that is "LEARN". Good one mate!

[@luckytyagi1573]

Basically their initially journey and strategy that made them successfull and also their pain points when they just started

[@smedits2705]

I wish you asked him why they dropped their WWE liscencing deal... feel like merch culture is kinda dipping for the superhero genre and growing in for the anime/hip hop genre.

[@praneethsurisetty]

One of the best podcasts Shamani 🙌

[@amitsachdeva]

Really Loyal to Souled Store been shopping with them for more than 7 years❤❤ loved the podcast

[@KashishVardhan]

Souled store's clothes quality and print quality is very good. They made me purchase 5 t-shirts and 1 shoe in 3 months because of there quality. But the shoe quality was not that good but design was good.

[@deepeshdarji3916]

[@aishwaryadeogade8371]

Was looking forward to knowing about cracking merch licenses with the giants. Wish you had touched on that.

[@dysplasiaanaplasia4128]

Great products bro . Im a loyal buyer of this brand bro

[@vgm6844]

Souled store is a really good store but there is some points I want to cover which is the rawness of fabric it is more of a cloth that could be wore at night only some some are not trapping the heat that it is impossible to wear the gsm is 180 which is low for the garment the product is good and nice but I believe after so many articles that bought its kinda boring because it dosent giving that super quality and in comparison to snitch and rare rabbit

[@codelucky]

I ❤️ the designs of theSouledStore. It's better than Snitch, I feel.

[@vidhijain9328]

Great

[@cgoalandai]

How it is useful in our day today life.

[@Rocean]

Yesterday went to Palladium, The souled store, and had terrible experience, the sales dude was busy with his phone, Online store is way better than their offline stores.

[@fridge_magnet]

I had a similar experience in their Bangalore Indira Nagar store. The staff are non attentive and amateur. But it's okay. Their online ordering is super easy and cheaper as well compared to stores.

[@blindaudio5586]

The podcast I am waiting for You got it right raj

[@rikendratomar6604]

Do a podcast related to a jewellery brand owner so that people will understand about this business.
